Actually I am correct in regards to the bomb. I used to believe as you do, but this documentary changed my mind:

Essentially the argument is that there was evidence that the Japanese were on the verge of surrender before the bomb and the US high command knew it. There are arguments for and against. But one cannot say that they know for sure that killing tens of thousands of non-combatant people was the only way to end the war. If you’re interested in the details check out the documentary.

I didn’t say that violence is never necessary. I support the Revolutionary War. I support the initial aims of the French Revolution but deplore what it became as a result of the methods it used and how it devolved from its initial moral aims. As for the Holocaust, while it took a war to end it, the war was not fought FOR the Holocaust victims. It was fought because Germany invaded other countries which then fought back. It was fought because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. The US didn’t care about antisemitism before that, they turned away a boat full of Jewish refugees who all but one died in the camp’s afterwards. And I notice nobody starting a war with China over their concentration camps of Uighur Muslims.

China by the way being a great example of a revolution that had good intentions and ended up being just as repressive and fascist as Nazi Germany but in the name of “the people". The seeds were there from the beginning.

I was saying that systemic brutality and genocide, and the killing of innocent people (particularly children) , is not what achieves positive change and instead entrenches violent cycles in a new form.

And it seems that you agree.

Then why did you defend parading children’s heads on pikes? That’s not equivalent to “shooting a burglar in your home". A child is not a threat. And if you say that they could become a threat, killing someone for what they COULD do rather than what they actually do is unconscionable.
